Day 12

My youtube channel has surprisingly gained more subscribers faster than expected, currently with 59 subscribers. This has surprised me because my last two videos were update videos and the most recent one was just one shot on my webcam since my camera had battery problems. I was planning on ordering a new camera last week, and itwould have come today, but the place turned out to not sell it (it was a scam), so that is a major setback for me. My Polyvore now has 5,138 followers, with a steady gain. My twitter gains haven’t been as fast as I would prefer for this project; I have 3 more than last checked, 40 followers. My total number of followers on Tumblr is almost 8.7k followers. Every 7 school days I check my audience count, and every time, it seems more and more feasible to receive the view goal that I have set for myself. One of my videos just hit 200 views, which is really exciting for me.

I am almost done editing the final product. I should be uploading in the time period between this week and next week. I was planning to shoot an introduction video for this project, but that might not end up happening because of my camera situation. I could possibly convince my mom to let me borrow her 5D Mark II, but the chances are quite low.

Day 11

School is wrapping up and this was one of the last days to work on the project. I made another update video, as the release date is coming up quickly.

My youtube channel now has 50 subscribers and my Polyvore has 5,090 followers, and my twitter account has 37 followers. My audience on Tumblr has grown a lot and I am almost done editing the video, and I am in the process of editing the introduction video.

I am looking forward to finishing this project as soon as I can, but I took a break from editing because I had so many tests to study for. As of right now, I have 3 different videos to stitch together and make an intro/outro of me summarizing the project and explaining what it is for.

Day 10

As I wrap up my 20% project, I wanted to make an intro video on my channel to introduce the video, since it is a lot different from most of my content on my channel.

As of right now, my youtube channel has 37 subscribers and my polyvore is 7 followers away from 5,000, and my twitter account now has 31 followers. I’ve been gaining more followers on my tumblrs, and now I have ~8.4k+ followers, plus an additional ~80 people in the networks that I have joined. I am almost done editing the video, and I am in the process of editing the introduction video.

I am looking forward to finishing this project as soon as I can, since finals are coming up really quickly, I didn’t want to bombard myself with the additional stress of this project.

I am happy with all of the progress I have made previously, but I am a bit disappointed that it didn’t go as fast as I hoped it would go. I just had a lot of other projects occupying my mind recently so the editing got put off a little bit.

Day 9

It’s been 2 cycles since my last blog post, and during that time, I have achieved a lot, despite the fact that I am extremely busy with school, managing my social networks, and working on an additional short film project as executive producer and co-director of cinematography.

Since the last post, I started up a Youtube channel, which now has 29 subscribers. My goal of 100 views on my videos shouldn't be that hard to reach, as I have already reached them on 2 of my videos with promotion. without much promotion, my third video received 51 views, which is quite impressive, considering the view to subscriber ratio.

I also reached 27 followers on twitter, which may help a little bit. My follower count on Tumblr has reached ~8.3k+ followers. My Polyvore is extremely close to hitting 5k followers. My social media bases are growing rapidly, and I am not concerned about reaching my goal of 100 views at this point.

In terms of editing, I am working in the final touches. I don’t think it will be necessary to use Final Cut Pro to edit. The sooner I release this video, the quicker I hope I’ll be able to achieve the view goal without the extremely annoying self promotion of the video all the time.
